“The International Court of Justice has issued its opinion and the conclusion is loud and clear: Israel’s occupation and annexation of the Palestinian territories are unlawful, and its discriminatory laws and policies against Palestinians violate the prohibition on racial segregation and apartheid.” Erika Guevara Rosas, Amnesty International’s Senior Director for Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns.
Take Action: Join us in calling on the Foreign Minister to call on Israel to end its brutal occupation of the Palestinian Territories and stop the import of all products made in these illegal settlements. By importing these goods, Australia is supporting and helping to maintain this illegal occupation.
The International Court of Justice has declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories unlawful. This historic opinion delivered by the Court underscores the urgency for global action against the illegal settlements that exploit and oppress Palestinian communities.
Illegal Israeli settlements are built on stolen land and violate international law. These settlements deny Palestinians their fundamental rights and perpetuate a cycle of injustice. By importing goods from these settlements, Australia is supporting and helping to maintain this illegal occupation.
Australia must take a stand. Due to often misleading labelling practices, no available data exists to determine the exact value of exports from Israel’s colonial settlements to Australia. That’s why we need national legislation to stop the import of all products made in these illegal settlements. This action will ensure Australia is acting in line with international law and upholding human rights while sending a strong message that Australia stands against Israel’s illegal occupation and annexation of Palestinian Territories.
Join us in urging the Foreign Minister to implement a ban on these imports and call on Israel to end its brutal occupation of the Palestinian Territories. Your voice can help ensure that Australia acts in accordance with international justice and supports the rights of Palestinians.
